I'm not sure that is strictly necessary. Even if everybody has the
*right*, the right can only be *exercised* by people who happen to be
in possession of the software.
It's not that different from everybody having the right to express
their thoughts on print. Those who are not in a possession of a
printing press (or some other device for producing hardcopies in
quantity) can nevertheless not use that as grounds for demanding that
somebody who has a printing press will help them exercise the right.
